Grenane House Stud’s colt from the family of top-class performers Youmzain and Pilsudski sold to Haras de Meautry for €130,000, while The Castlebridge Consignment’s half-sister to stakes winner Right And True made the same amount when purchased by Castlehyde Stud.

Galbertstown Stables’ half-sister to the stakes-placed Miss Maia was knocked down to Louis Dubois, Thomas Gibson and EDC for €98,000.

Another popular offering was Ballybin Stud’s granddaughter of 1,000 Guineas heroine Ameerat and she went the way of R Kilmartin and Woodleigh Stables for €90,000.

St Mark’s Basilica will be represented by five foals at Tattersalls next week.
